Notes
- Extra Buffalo Sauce: If you like a saucier buffalo chicken, double the butter and hot sauce mixture. Spoon extra sauce over the chicken after baking or save it for other recipes.
- Preheat the Oven: Always start with a fully preheated oven. This helps the chicken cook evenly and prevents it from drying out.
- Blue Cheese Option: For more blue cheese flavor, add some of the crumbles during the last few minutes of baking, then finish with more on top after it comes out of the oven.
